Chapter 222 The Man in Black Sneaks In
Seeing that the man seemed to understand, Dong Yue didn't say anything.
Dong Yue silently talked about her plans for the money in her hands.
She is going to leave one third for emergency use, one third for their start-up capital, and the remaining one third for Ru'er.
Ruer is in the palace, and there are many places to spend money. The purpose of giving her money is to make her manage things up and down, so that her life in the palace will be easier.
With this plan, Dong Yue thought of Pu Jingyu that her daughter had mentioned.
One night, Dong Yue had too many plans. After dinner, Dong Yue was still thinking about the next plan.
Sweet potatoes can be planted again in spring tomorrow, which is not a rare commodity at that time.
It’s only September, what should I plant?
At this time, you can grow some potatoes and wheat.
Potatoes are planted now, and they can be harvested in less than three months.
It was cold at that time, which was good for storing potatoes.
Potatoes have already been eaten, and they are already available here, so they are not rare.
Wheat is not uncommon. If you plant wheat now, you can wait for the harvest in early May next year.
Divided into two batches, you can also grow some common crops, and it will also reduce other people's attention to them.
It can be regarded as making a fortune again in a muffled voice.
With a plan in place, Dong Yue sleeps very heavily.
Liu Sanqiang left in the middle of the night without even noticing.
the next day.
Dong Yue woke up and saw Liu Sanqiang walking outside covered in sweat.
Thinking that the man just came back from morning exercise, "I'm sweating again, go and wash off."
"Yes." Liu Sanqiang took a change of clothes and went out.
Dong Yue washed up and walked to the main hall.
On the way, Dong Yue saw Steward Li in a hurry. There should be nothing urgent at home. Could it be that the man is doing something big?
Men's affairs are all big things, so they didn't care, walked into the main hall, and suddenly thought of what Liu Sanqiang once said.
At that time, he said that he would see the general the next day, but there is no movement until now?
Thinking in his heart, Liu Sanqiang came after washing up and saw Dong Yue sitting down, "From now on, you eat first, don't wait for me."
Dong Yue waited until Liu Sanqiang sat down, and asked, "I was too busy with things yesterday, so I forgot, is the general okay?"
Liu Sanqiang also remembered, "The general went to Hengzhou to suppress the bandits, and he won't be able to return for a while. I forgot to mention this."
"Suppressing bandits?" Suppressing bandits is very normal, but it is obviously inappropriate for General Ye to suppress bandits.
Dong Yue looked at the man without suspicion, could this be their plan?
After thinking about it, I didn't ask again.
After the two of them had dinner, Liu Sanqiang had no intention of leaving. Dong Yue wanted to go to the shop to see, "Are you okay today?"
"fine."
"Let's go to the shop and have a look!"
"it is good."
The officials of the Great Huaguo did not prohibit business, and there was nothing wrong with Liu Sanqiang appearing in the shop.
The two came to the shop, and the shop began to get busy.
There are fewer guests today than before, as Dong Yue expected, she didn't care.
Busy until noon, Dong Yue saw that the business was not busy, so she was going to have dinner with Liu Sanqiang, and visited Hongming Academy by the way.
Just as he was about to leave, the horse businessman hurried over, "Ms. Dong—"
Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first.
Dong Yue stopped, looked at Liu Sanqiang, and explained to the horse merchant who had just got off the carriage, "He is the horse merchant."
Liu Sanqiang took a look, he was very fat, he was not annoying, when the horse merchant got off the carriage and came to him, staring at Dong Yue, he felt that he was not a good person.
Want to remind the woman to distance herself from this person.
"Miss Dong, the sweet potatoes you sold to me are so good, I think I'll buy all the rest today, and you can set the price whatever you want."
"Merchant Horse, who is this?" Dong Yue looked at Merchant Horse. Does he have a better market?
"To be honest, I sent all the sweet potatoes you sold to me to various restaurants, and now most of them have been sold. I don't think it will take three days. You will sell them all to me today, how about it?"
"Yes." Dong Yue nodded in agreement.
Businessman Ma was very excited. The woman was so straightforward, the smile on his face deepened.
"Well, can you?" Merchant Ma said that it was a bit difficult to speak.
"If you have something to say, say it."
"That." The horse merchant glanced at the roasted sweet potatoes being sold, "Can you sell these sweet potatoes to me?"
The words were cryptic, and Dong Yue understood what Merchant Ma meant.
"Okay, those that have been baked on the stove now, I won't bake them after I sell them, and I will keep another five hundred catties, and I will sell the rest of sweet potatoes to you." She understands that the horse merchant wants to operate exclusively, which is also a monopoly. In this way, the price of sweet potatoes can be increased a lot, and the profits are also huge.
"Okay, that's great." Merchant Ma took out two thousand taels of silver notes, "Miss Dong, do you think these are all right?" Merchant Ma heard that someone also knew about sweet potatoes and wanted to **** them from him. As an acquaintance, I want to take the first step.
Dong Yue didn't know about this, and looked at the bank note in front of her, "It won't cost so much." Dong Yue pulled out a five hundred tael bank note, "This is what we agreed on before, as for the sweet potatoes in my shop, it's a gift." To the horse merchant."
"No, no, no, how is this possible." Merchant Ma can achieve what he is today, and his situation is not small.
"Horse merchant, I like to grow something. If I have a chance in the future, I want to sell it to a horse merchant. I don't have to worry about the market, so it will save trouble."
The horse merchant laughed loudly when he heard this.
After laughing, he looked at Mrs. Dong excitedly, "Ms. Dong, don't worry, my price is absolutely fair, and I will definitely not lose half a cent to my benefactor."
"The benefactor doesn't need it, you should find someone to take the sweet potatoes away first!"
"Good good good good!"
Businessman Ma is not a person who is willing to take advantage, and for the sake of future cooperation, he can't take such a big advantage. Before leaving, he gave Dong Yue another thousand taels of silver.
Dong Yue saw that the horse businessman was sincere and did not refuse.
She knew that all the sweet potatoes in her shop were baked and sold, which was not worth the price.
After receiving the money, tell the long-term worker in the shop.
They all selected a few people from the field to work.
All the sweet potatoes roasting on the stove were sold out, Dong Yue told them that all the sweet potatoes were sold out, and told them not to use them tomorrow.
They found it strange that Dong Yue said that it was acquired by a horse merchant.
When everyone heard this, they were all a little unhappy. Seeing the wages Dong Yue gave them, when everyone was leaving, each of them took ten catties of sweet potatoes, and they were all very happy.
The long-term workers in the field, when they harvested, they left a small piece of land, dug out the sweet potatoes in the field, and let the long-term workers divide them.
Dong Yue earned more than 4,000 taels of silver from the horse merchant and more than 2,000 taels of silver from roasting sweet potatoes. After deducting wages, he earned more than 6,000 taels.
Dong Yue and Liu Sanqiang ate out and ordered wine. Before leaving, they purposely visited Hongming Academy.
Academy is incomparable with Ru'er's academy.
Looking at the style of the door, I know that the people who come and go here are all noble children.
Thinking of Pu Jingyu, it is also his blessing to have the current fortune.
Dong Yue and Liu Sanqiang stood at the door for a while, but did not go in.
Walking on the way home, Dong Yue thought, these days, the maids and mother-in-law at home are tired from eating, so they might as well eat out at night, as a reward for them.
Dong Yue decided to send the double salary of the long-term worker promised at the beginning tomorrow.
Go back to Liu's house and tell Butler Li to go to a restaurant for dinner tonight.
Soon the news spread, and everyone was very happy.
In the evening, a group of people talked and laughed and went to the restaurant.
Dong Yue didn't know, just as they left, two men in black sneaked into Liu's house and ran towards the backyard.
